and barefoot wind
weeps softly
stammering
for so many mysteries
oh heart of mine
what handmaiden
trinity lay tenantless
opulance cascades consumption
of white open power
and yet
they hesitate
and do no longer move
a mother
in the shout of silence
red dwarfed sacrifice
raping the mind of
a mother
she
holds her head deep
in her hands
as if ashamed

passes slowly through
before night
hovers or'
shiny depths
of midnight pools

are the high gods gone
in these black haired moments
imprisioned streams
touching vacancy
hurled with dreadful
torrents upon the consciousness
agaonized
by shattered walls
youth dives through unsighted
hell
lives
yet undreamed
and we pray giant tears
tilted downward

Lee .... "A barefoot wind .... stammering..."

I can almost hear it. Nicely phrased.

Nice write Lee J. Love that last line.
